Dolly Donations for Charity

Speaking of charities, they just seem to keep popping up!

Now someone has posted a note that there is a "Dolly Donations" charity which is making and asking to be made, a few hundred dolls....right now ethnic ones to go to Haiti.  They have patterns and tips on the site.  I have a sewing machine so might could sew something up. Some of the dolls sent in are just awesome!  I hope I do this right as want to link you to the site via the photos....we shall see.

So, if you are out of charities, you could be joining this one on and off this year and ship out a doll or two.  I'm beginning to think that we crafters are going to save the world one dolly, one square, one heart at a time.

Charity Daisy Square

The square on the right is the one that I sent to Krystal for her charity square.  Her web site is here and if you get her pattern then  you send her a square so she can put them all together (she has made about six or seven in one year) and donate to one of her charities listed in her blog.

The one on the left is going to have a mate in pink and I'm making a pillow for my granddaughter with it. One of the squares in her Pinkalicious Afghan is made with this pattern and she loves it. 

Can't help but want to spoil the little ones


 

Finally, I have found a cowl that I can crochet and it's really really nice!  Lion Brand put this new pattern up on it's site, and I love it!  PLUS it is made in Vanna's Choice which is the one yarn you can count on my having lots of stashed away!

You can find this pattern here, and hope you love it as much as I do!!
